国庆假期游成都,看到张同学拍摄子云亭简介牌匾,其英译稍有瑕疵,如2019年12月华东游见苏州园林真趣亭时「译性大发」,故稍作修改。

汉英对照子云亭Ziyun Pavilion

为纪念西汉文学家、哲学家、语言学家扬雄而建。扬雄(公元前53年-公元18年),子云,蜀郡郫县(今成都郫都区)人。

Ziyun Pavilion was built in memory of Yang Xiong (53 BC-18 AD), a writer, philosopher, linguistician of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C. -A.D. 24). His courtesy name was Zǐyún and born in Pi County, Prefecture Shu (present-day Pidu District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province). 


汉成帝时任时事黄门郎。王莽建立“新”朝,他校书天禄阁官为大夫,曾作《剧秦美新赋》称颂,以文章名世。

When Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was in power, he was appointed as a Gentleman-in-Attendance of the Yellow Gates. After Wang Mang founded the "Xin" Dynasty ( 9 AD to 23 AD), he worked as an Editing Clerk in Tianlu Pavilion with an official title of Grand Master. Yang Xiong was once appreciated for Ode to Criticizing Ying Zheng and Praising Wang Mang, and known for his articles nationwide. 


《直隶绵州志》记载,扬雄在40岁时前往京师长安(今陕西西安市)曾寓居涪县,在西山和钟阳镇(今绵阳市郊皂角铺附近)两处均有读书台洗墨池等遗迹。

In accordance with Histories of Mianyang, Zhili, he relocated to Chang'an, the then capital (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi province), and lived a cozy life in Fu County (present-day Fucheng District, Mianyang, Sichuan Province), then it was natural that relics pertaining to him including a reading terrace and an ink-brush washing pool could be found both in Xishan and Zhongyang Town (near present-day Zaojiaopu in the suburbs of Mianyang).


绵阳子云亭始建于隋,因中唐诗人刘禹锡写的《陋室铭》中有“南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭”的名句而享誉天下

Ziyun Pavilion was built in the Sui Dynasty, and its reputation was earned in the country due to the words in A Eulogium on a Humble Cell by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: Zhuge's recluse cottage at Nanyang and Yang Xiong's hermit arbor in West Shu.


绵阳子云亭1988年迁至西山凤凰嘴新建亭高三层下面两层为阁阁上重亭通高21米总面积1300多平方米底层立柱128根。

In 1988, a 21-meter high Ziyun Pavilion covering a total area of over 1300 square meters was re-built in Fenghuangzui, Xishan. It consisted of three stories, the first and second ones were pavilions, but the third one resembled a tower with 128 supporting pillars on the first floor.


顶上飞檐翘角,规模宏大,工艺精湛气宇轩昂,蔚为壮观,登亭揽胜,绵阳全景,尽眼底。

The roofs of Ziyun Pavilion were decorated with multiple exquisite angled cornices, presenting an imposing and splendid view of the Pavilion. When one climbs to the top of it, he could enjoy a panoramic view of Mianyang.
